DOVER — Police were led on a high-speed chase through the city Tuesday evening after responding to a report of an armed robbery at Walgreens on Glenwood Avenue.

Sgt. Brad Gould said police were called to the store at 9:38 p.m. where employees were being interviewed. A police presence remained on scene for a short time later.

Gould said it was unclear what type of weapon was shown during the robbery as video surveillance footage had not yet been viewed. He also could not comment on what items were stolen.

Though a description of the vehicle had been released earlier in the evening, Gould said police did not believe it was accurate and, according to emergency radio communications, a K9 unit had been dispatched somewhere in the city to pursue a subject on foot.

Previously, a vehicle believed to be involved was reported traveling on Broadway and Silver Street at speeds upward of 50 mph.

A description of the suspect was also not available.

Gould said police were actively investigating leads.

At 10:42 p.m., a Foster's news team encountered a police cruiser focusing a search light on a vehicle in the area of Rutland Street.

Afterward, in what could be a related incident, Rollinsford police were investigating a beige Mazda sedan located on Foundry Street where a subject had exited the vehicle and fled on foot into the woods.

According to Chief Bob Ducharme, the car was observed by officers on Portland Avenue without its headlights on and passing other vehicles.

A K9 unit from the Rochester Police Department was dispatched to the area of Foundry Street but did not make contact with the subject. South Berwick, Maine, police also assisted at the Rollinsford scene.

At about 11:15 p.m., a Dover police officer was en route to the scene to examine the vehicle.

More information will follow as it becomes available later today.

Anyone with information related to the robbery or who may have witnessed any suspicious activity is asked to contact the Dover Police Department at 742-4646.
